This [1] report offers a preview of findings from Foundations of Learning (FOL), an evaluation of an intervention that trains preschool teachers to better support children's behavioral and emotional development. The model tested in Foundations of Learning combined teacher training in effective classroom management with weekly classroom consultation. Consultants coached and mentored the teachers in the new strategies learned in the training workshops and provided individualized support to the highest risk children.
